Time to block and report. Can you block? If so how? I’ve only been on here since 2013 so I’m kinda new.

Looks great! I was going to have this done, but was quoted 1800 for paint correction and cQuartz plus another 800 for PPF on just the front bumper. I decided to just do the paint correction and conventional sealant and carnauba wax. Been there for 4 days now. Ugh!

My car is summit white, but if it were black I probably would have done the full monty. My main concern is swirls and apparently ceramic doesnt add much protection against that. At least I'll have a swirl free baseline to start with after removing the dealer installed swirl package despite me telling them not to wash it. Dumb.

Anyway, looks killer and you got a sweet deal!

Thanks.

Wish I could have done anything with it, but it's in the dealer body shop getting the decal stripes taken off and painted on instead.

I had some swirls for sure. And yes Black is hard to keep clean. When I saw that black hellcat with this work done I had to have it. And this price is a steal for 3 days of labor.

I did nothing with it. It's dirty as all hell, needs a wash and wax and interior detail desperately but the damned rain won't let up long enough to get anything done.

/sigh

A few pages ago I said that I had replaced the fabric seats with leather seats, and now I have redesigned the spare fabric seats too. Feel free to block me if too envious.

I don’t think anyone is envious of you, dude. But do carry on with your fragile ego.

Right? I still haven't gotten a good wash on it from marathon trip from TN to MA a couple weeks ago. And the few times we've had some sunshine, I've been busy running around doing errands and trying to get some quality time in with the wife.

I consider myself a Camaro enthusiast but that guy is next level

New shoes arrived yesterday. Got them mounted/balanced today, no driving on them just yet. Went with General AS-05s in stock sizes, this will let the wife drive throughout a wider temperature range without my having to worry about it.

Take a rainy Friday forecast, add a couple cans of Plasti-dip, a roll of painter’s tape and a little bit of Velcro and you get this....

spruced up wheels (added a before picture for reference)

and finally mounted my specs plate.
